I appreciate the encouragement from everyone. My girlfriend was telling me this evening to go have fun at the Games, but she isn't going to be coming along. I don't think she knows what to make of it all yet, not to worry!

I posted the pic on my facebook last night and some of my friends are really giving it to me. I know that you all have probably heard it all.

My GF looked at me in disbelief and asked, "what would you do that for?" and I laughed out loud and told her that "it's been a really long time since I worried about what other folks thought about me!"

My son-in-law posted "Nice Skirt!" and of course my immediate reply was "It's a Kilt!" "Damn Englishmen!"

Like you said Whidbey78, "I'm already passed that."

Ryan Ross, despite it being really light it does fit well. I have a USA Kilt on the way and I'm looking forward to getting it soon and it's much heavier.
